Arianna Huffington: Will the GOP nuke the Constitution?

Will the GOP nuke the Constitution?
Rumored ban on judicial filibusters is an assault on democracy


Right now, somewhere in the White House, administration strategists are hatching plans to go to war. Battle plans are being drawn. Timing and tactics are being finalized. A nuclear option is even being openly discussed.
The designated target? Iran? Syria? North Korea?

No, much closer to home: the United States Senate.

Salivating at the chance to radically remake the Supreme Court, the president and his loyal lapdogs in the World's Most Exclusive Club are plotting to obliterate over 200 years of Senate tradition by eliminating the use of filibusters against judicial nominees.

3. Will nuke?
A limited nuclear war would shed some excess population, renew your infrastructure (look at modern Japan and Germany). If everyone would agree to keep it clean before it starts. No more worries about the deficit catching up with you.

MIHOP to the extreme.
